Student Well-Being
From Judy Loudon Inclusion Coaching
The sense of community that schools offer is important to maintain for children and young people, even as routines change due to the coronavirus outbreak. Our New Farm State School community is wonderful and we will continue to support each other. The BeYou (Beyond Blue) website offers the following tips https://beyou.edu.au/resources/news/covid-19-supporting-schools -
- Maintain routines where possible
- Talk about what’s happening in the news
- Focus energy in a positive direction
- Help regulate emotions
- Look for changes in behaviour
- Support children and young people feeling stressed or anxious- Take extra care to notice and listen to children and young people during this time. This will give them the opportunity to explore their emotions and reach out for help
I’ve also attached the Headspace Fact Sheet which may help when discussing this change with your child.
